CommonBound

This is where I am this weekend. Not planting seedlings. Sitting at this great event in Boston listening to a wonderful duo of poetry slammers that call themselves Climbing PoeTree. Lots and lots of people here. Some that I already know. Many I will know by the end of the weekend. This morning I am going to a workshop titled “A Localist Agenda: Policy and Politics for Building a Community-Scaled Economy” More later.

And for those long time fans of this blog you know that the last time I tried to live blog an event I was attending I had a computer disaster. This time the only problem seems to be getting signed into the network (thanks to my marvelous children who bought me this slick new laptop!) but right now I have that licked. Hurrah. As I said more later.

Brian,there are note takers here. I’ll forward you the notes. Thanks for your interest. It is also live streaming if you click the link on the post you can see how to sign into that service. Very tech savvy bunch down here.

Really enjoyed the Common Ground WERU program Friday, especially what you both had to say (chapters, urban/suburban âhomesteadingââ¦), learning from people nearby, someone elseâs story about starting in an apartment with worm composting and having to move on to growing stuff because of all the good growing medium!

And Iâd be at Farm and Homestead (great promotion!) but we have our giant chorus concert that day, quite a regional community building phenomenon in itself.
